[QUOTE="Richard-the-Ninth, post: 530905, member: 23472"] The output only unit you have appears to be obsolete, it has been replaced by the Fike input/output unit. These units have a Max switch rating of 2A I suspect that although the relay is marked as 5A the PCB tracks can not carry 5A hence the 2A limit, I also suspect that is why your unit has been by passed (It failed in use) There may also be compatibility problems with a new unit and the software version of the existing Fike fire panel. Fire alarms being a life safety system require the person working on them to have a good understanding of how they work, if you are happy then carry on, but I would suggest unless you feel 100% comfortable with it, I would pass it to a fire alarm company. (Not all fire alarm companies will touch Fike, as it does not have the best reputation) [/QUOTE]
